Project: Fifteen Forward

In March of 2020 The Toronto Sketch Comedy Festival celebrated its 15th anniversary. Born in the back room of the Gladstone Hotel in 2005, TOsketchfest continues to grow and evolve serving its primary mission – to invest in and support the development of Canadian comedic voices. We deliver on this mandate by producing performance showcases like TOsketchfest and Comedy Country; creating touring opportunities; publishing comedy recordings; offering professional development and industry networking opportunities to comedians; and by direct funding for comedy projects.

TOsketchfest is facing pressing challenges. Now, more than ever, we need your help. Following a difficult 2019 season, we were informed we will not receive anticipated funding from one of our long-time provincial government partners, and of course at this year’s festival we were severely impacted by the onset of COVID-19. This triple blow now presents a significant threat to the future of TOsketchfest… but we cannot quit!

Project: Fifteen Forward is a fund raising campaign to overcome these short-term challenges, and to create a stable foundation of support for the NEXT fifteen years of The Toronto Sketch Comedy Festival.

We’re committed to producing our Best of the Fest Award Show at a future time.

This giving season, please support PROJECT: FIFTEEN FORWARD!
